 You know that a girl's gotta work it to get her way in the world. And while you aren't about to throw a tantrum at every turn... You do amp up the drama when you know you need it. You mix charm, honesty, and kindness to get ahead. |
Here's the scoop
Sep. 20th, 2005 10:51 amThanks for all the birthday wishes. It was a lovely day even though I wasn't looking forward to my birthday last week. I actually started opening presents at midnight. ;) I'm so silly.
Big surprise this year is that RTL who usually is about to burst because she's so proud of her present, needed me to go pick out the gift choice this year. A trip to the Apple store. Ha Ha! She bought me software last year. No! I got to pick out my very own iPod! Well, it was harder than that. We've got a 40 GB, so we were trying to decide whether to go with a mini or a nano vs one like we have. I spent much time debating the practicality of paying $50 less for 4 GB or the $50 more for 20 GB. After asking all the right questions and deciding, all the Apple stores within driving distance had zero 4 GB nanos left. Yes, I went for the pretty, although quite practical considering that it will be less conspicuous than the pod when traveling. Although, I had to come home and order my own birthday present myself. Now I've got to figure out where to take it to have a heart engraved on it.
She was very sweet and bought me the Mighty Mouse that I've been wanting. Now I can scroll up, down, left, right, left click and right click. Although I've got to get used to this mouse. I bought her a new set of earphones.
We also went to the Melting Pot for dinner. (I love the Melting Pot) It's just so expensive. Well, that's also perspective, but it is pricier than what we would normally do all the other times we go out to eat.
Kim and Fergal even called and sang Happy Birthday to me. A lovely Sunday and an even lovelier birthday. Now I just get to work on my year 32 resolutions.

The rest of the scoop
Sep. 20th, 2005 11:46 amDid the drive to SFO in 6 a.m. rush hour traffic this morning. Took the wrong f-ing exit. Although, that was easily fixed, it was still a pain. I circled the airport to make sure that RTL got on the plane. And of course, it took me less than half as long to get back home.
The dog also tried to figure out how much mischief he could get into between 6 and 7:30. I found him in the bathroom eating toilet paper when I got back home. Of all the days to not just lift his head from the pillow and go back to sleep. I keep finding the other things that he chewed into oblivion, so he's outside until I feel benevolent enough to let him back in the house. The cat, well, the cat tried to keep him out of trouble. She was waiting at the door to tattle when I walked in.
And one rant, because I'm a little hurt and a little pissed. One word - Christy.
I've known Christy since I was 10. We have history. Many hours playing Barbies, practicing our cheers, riding bikes all over the neighborhood, etc. I was her maid of honor. More importantly, I've spent many years acting as her chaperone/alibi. Our birthdays are a day apart, she's the 17th and I'm the 18th. Granted since I don't stay in one place more than 2 years, our friendship has grown apart. But I always remember to send birthday cards, just like I did this year. What do I see when I open my email this morning? A email from her that says "Thanks for the birthday card. Christy" That's it. No, happy birthday or well wishes to you too, plain old thanks, have a nice life. The evil side of me wants to pull out all the blackmail pictures, make cards out of them, and send them to her. The hurt side tells me to just walk away. I just don't get it.

One last word tonight
Sep. 20th, 2005 09:51 pmThe dog in his joy of tearing up everything this morning ended up eating RTL's leftover bag of chocolate covered coffee beans! Not good. I didn't find this out until RTL called to tell me that she had made it to JFK and said "Oh, I forgot to pick up zippy of chocolate beans off the table." At least there were only about 5 or 6 in the bag, not the pound of fudge from the last time he had chocolate. He's either going to be the death of me or the death of himself.
I don't know if RTL made it to Madrid or not. She hasn't called as of yet. Although, I don't think her plane lands until 8-ish in Madrid which is midnite-ish here. I'm still trying to come up with a list of things I want her to bring back. Nothing from Spain, I'm still trying to come up with an idea for Germany and I want bulbs from Amsterdam. Hopefully, she'll get a chance to go to Aashmeer for those.
